We demonstrate bioenabled crack-free chiral nematic films prepared via a unidirectional
flow of cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) in the capillary confinement. To facilitate the uniform …

We showed large area uniformly aligned chiral photonic bioderived films from a liquid crystal
phase formed by a cellulose nanocrystal (CNC) suspension placed in a thin capillary. As a …

Magnetic resonance imaging visualization down to nanometric liquid films in model porous
media with pore sizes from micro-to nanometers enables one to fully characterize the …

A pore network model of isothermal drying is presented. The model takes into account the
capillary effects, the transport of vapor by diffusion, including Knudsen effect, in the gas …

For most wood-based product uses it is essential to remove a large part of the water content
from wet or green (fresh-cut) wood, to reduce further dimensional variations under varying …

During evaporation in porous media, two types of corner films are distinguished. A
continuous corner film is connected to the bulk liquid, while a discontinuous one is not. To …

Liquid corner films in channels or pores of polygonal cross-section are known to have a
strong impact on evaporation with a much faster evaporation compared to a tube of circular …

Evaporation of water from porous media is essential for a large variety of applications,
whereas the opacity of porous matrix imposes considerable challenges in unveiling …

We investigate the influence of surfactants on capillary rise and corner flow in angular pores.
We therefore study capillary rise for simple fluids and surfactant solutions, comparing square …

This study concerns the spatial evolution of the internal components of a macroscopic
sample of cellulose slurry during its convective drying. In a first stage, some water is …
